than how do you explain Lots & Noah removal from their Tribulation ? - Not from the Planet - but their severe punishment ????? If GOD is in. your heart it won't matter - but just for conversation
@@charlessamsonow7438 Lot & Noah are both utter destruction events both situations are for the annihilation of the wicked only not the trials of the saints.
He saved Noah and Lot by not taking them out of the world, but preserving them from the wrath yet still in the world, God knows how to preserve His people, but yet still some will suffer persecution and even martyrdom for their faith….
Post rapture thinking can also get you in trouble as pre or mid trib rapture does. You simply just need to get rid of that rapture doctrine and stick to Scripture. It's called the second coming. (The SECOND COMING in the Greek does not translate back to a rapture). Satan, defacto, here as antichrist will be his tribualtion, but Yeshua also has a tribulation. There are 2 advents. That is the reason why it's not good to call it pre mid or post. We are not ALL fully or completely judged at the 7th trump when Yeshua returns to dwell with us. Many rapture followers believe that they are judged and living eternally with God when they are raptured, not so. Many that know the truth will then question what trubulation are you considering post. Many don't understand the Lord's day, also called the millenium. At the 7th trump we are all changed back to spirit bodies (for judgement), also called the first death, the first resurrection. After the millenium, that is when the great throne judgement upon ALL will happen. That is the second death, the second resurrection. Jesus will reign with us for 1000 years before the eternity can take place. This is the tribualtion of Yeshua. It is why many are being decieved with this rapture doctrine. It simply has no article in Scripture. I understand when you say post rapture, it simply means we will ALL go through the tribulation of antichrist/hour of temptation, and then Yeshua apears at the 7th trump and Gods wrath happens very quick at the same time. Call it a rapture if it makes you happy but as the Bible teaches, it does not happen till the 7th trump sounds. Second coming, at the last trump, the 7th trump, God's trump.
I was hardcore pre-trib before I even truly became a believer (grew up in the church but gave my life to Jesus at 21). I read the Left Behind series, saw the movies and used to believe it would happen at any moment (well over 15 years ago). As I studied the scriptures after being drawn to Jesus and surrendering to Him, I began to see countless parallels and examples of God being WITH His church in the midst of tribulation, from Genesis to Revelation. Then, when I came across FAI and GCM, I began to be pulled even more to study further and it all made sense.... terrifying at first, but, knowing that God is in control of the end, makes it worth enduring through to the point of the return of Jesus. The thing now that I am having to get past is not following the 'prepper' crowd, that believes we need to 'survive', when we are called to lay down our lives for Jesus... yes, I believe that we will need to endure, but, only for as long as the Lord will have us here. Many Christians (sadly, much of my brothers and sisters) I fear, will fall away when the pre-trib does not come to pass, while those of us who remain and endure, will have to pull the weight of being strong and answering their questions and encouraging them to endure to the end. I hope that I am ready for that day, and ready to lay down my life for Jesus, as many will not, because they will compromise and take the mark.
Hi @FAI STUDIOS, I was a pre-triber for over 30 years until I started studying scripture intently on this subject (along with praying and fasting). Just want to say how encouraging this is to hear such clear teaching on this that I can share with others. I’ve been talking to as many friends/family/YouTubbers as I can about this but usually face anger or accusations (that I’m living a sinful life and not hearing from the Spirit of God). Much of what you all have been sharing is exactly what I have been discovering in scripture, sharing, and experiencing (from others). It’s encouraging to see how God is moving in his body to root out this false teaching in order to help us prepare for what’s to come. It also verifies in my heart that the time of (great) tribulation is coming fast for the world (especially in the Western World). Thanks for doing this series, and I can’t wait for the weeks to come to listen to what you will have to say . One action point we all need to take away from this understanding is to pray for one another to have the strength from God, and the resolve, to endure no matter what. We need the Spirit’s leading and power in this. Praying for his wisdom in the day to day practical steps he wants us to take… from spending quality, intimate, time daily with God, to gathering together in home churches, to creating an “underground” network for supplies and food. We need the Spirit’s wisdom and leading.
I was a Pretribulation Rapture believer as well however, I'm not dogmatic about any of the rapture interpretations. I "kind" of lean towards the Pre-Rath interpretation. In my opinion the rapture will happen when it happens. If a Pre-Tribulation Rapture happens that will be a great thing but I'm not going to hold my breath. Hope for the best but prepare for the worst, right?

So grateful to have found FAI Studios. I'm a post tribulation and it's saddened me for years to see my sister's and brother's in Christ so caught up in ore trib secret rapture😢, don't quite know how to handle it as well as you all do in teaching Scripture as you do. Love these u tubes! ❤
Be encouraged! For every person who attacks you for teaching the truth, there will be hundreds or thousands of people who are genuinely trying to make sense of everything they've been taught and who will be open to the plain truth of the Word. You may not hear anything from them, but you will be changing their future. Thank you for everything you guys are doing!
Thank you for sharing your powerful testimony ! Praise the Lord! We were pretrib until watching your teachings the last few months! Thank you for encouraging the Church to be Barreans!
I can relate to your first experience with the Holy Spirit. Mine was much in the same manner. I call it the "Spirit of repentance". Something happened one night at church that made me change my mind about my life. I believed on the name of Jesus that night and I can truthfully say I was born again. Immediately I knew the life I was living was not right. My life changed immediately that night. That was in Jan 78.

I used to be pre trib but now that I know the truth I don't know what I'll probably become a martyr because from my understanding of the hosea prophecy the return of christ is in 2030 meaning the tribulation starts in the middle of 2026 so then I will be 16 and a half now I am 13 and my parents are very lukewarm so I wont be able to prepare.Any advice?
@@linin3288 Continue to study the Word of God, pray without ceasing (commune with God as often as you can, think about Him, meditate on His Word), and ask God for protection and guidance, and the Holy Spirit will be with you always. If you can find a true Bible-believing church, that would help you to grow in faith. God bless!
@@linin3288God Bless you! No one knows the day nor the hour Christ will return. Don’t worry about dates, just keep seeking and loving the Lord. Passionately seek His face as you study His Word. People have been giving dates for many years and have led many astray.

Ummm ok so I feel like crying hearing Joel talk about his story, I am here for it that is AMAZING!!!! makes me wish each FAI member could do one episode on their testimony!!! Wow, that is so touching to hear thank you Joel for sharing that!
You’re never rambling and you’re an excellent story teller. I’m in agreement with you. I’m teaching my family about the endurance that will be needed in the times ahead. I feel, that the truth is what they will be armed with. God bless you Brother. And big hugs from the Grand Canyon State. 💙🙏💙
It's so incredibly refreshing to finally find someone who is teaching the same things I'm reading when I study. It's so frustrating to read what makes so much sense to me, only to have someone I respect disagree, but not have anything to help me understand why they are seeing teachings I just cannot see, no matter how I try. It's nice to know I'm not alone, and that the vitriol I've run into at times wasn't needed.
Made me cry, the story of Mike. Last evening I was trying to gently push my friend to the Lord. She has recently found out she has Cervical cancer, and also told me her adult daughter moved home, and has a serious alcohol issue. Straight vodka. I sent her some teachings, told her to give it to God and tell him, Lord I cannot do this alone. I am starting to not hold back myself. Another friend lost her daughter this week as well. More to it but this is it in a nutshell. God bless and Maranatha! (By the way those sweatshirts you sell on your site are so soft and awesome)
I am sensing an urgency of the hour, this teaching is essential there is so much deception out there! Thank you for speaking the truth! So many need to hear this! Love this new series will watch every episode!
Having been dreadfully misled by the JW’s for a number of years, I am possibly the most berean person going AND that is why I still follow your sessions diligently. I have been down rabbit hole after rabbit hole and the FAI are the only teachings I have found that are sound and based 💯 on scripture. I also love that you do not sensationalise and go off on your own ideas or whims as nearly all others do! I still peruse occasionally but I see so much goofy and weird stuff, totally unscriptural and I sigh! I have unsubscribed from nearly all other teachers! I love your studies and missed them tremendously. I have felt spiritually starved for some months now…so thank you so much for filling me to the brim with daily studies. May the Lord continue to bless you all and open the hearts of those that listen and check the scriptures. I might also add that the Lord led me to your ministry when I broke down and sobbed to the Lord to reveal Himself. I was knocking and seeking and after desperately praying, sobbing and begging, the very next day I found the FAI! Truly a blessing. Thank the Lord! Hallelujah and thank you FAI, Maranatha
I love what you said, that is exactly how I am, I feel you wrote my own words! Haha God is at work doing some huge heart things like always! I love FAI and like you said I have unsubscribed from most all other teachings, I feel they are so sound in scripture and not going just off feelings. They let scripture interpret scripture and more than any other person I've ever listened to. I will pray for you in your journey, May God bless you and give you understanding as you go! Maranatha! 💖💖💖
@@sammygeiger3562 Thank you and I shall pray for you also. Difficult times and we need to love and encourage each other. I want to be ready and prepared and as Joel said…if it does happen sooner, which I doubt very much…bonus! God bless and Maranatha
I personally haven't found any misleading teachings in FAI. But I've been shocked to see their names on lists of FALSE teachers from people I've learned to trust and know many of the other names on list are false. But I've yet to see anyone dissect any teaching to say why it's on their list. They do this with the others. So I was wondering if you would teach a little bit about the doctrines of JW.
@@destinycoach5 yes absolutely more than happy to tell you! I left in late 1990’s just before the new millennia and needless to say they have changed things since. Well they sort of had to really…but ask away…more than happy to expose the falsehood
@@destinycoach5 Quite staggering they are on such a list, I didn’t even know existed. Fact is…wide is the road leading to destruction and many are following that route (breaks my heart) Narrow is the path leading to everlasting life and few find it! ( ab lib). I despair daily, having been down the route of evil! I now have clear and scriptural based faith in the Lord! A lot of JW’s that leave are lost and need our help! However, some on you tube are trying to make a career or money or fame or whatever, I don’t know from their experience! I just want them all to know Jesus as God and open their hearts to the truth of Gods REAL word! Their bible has been changed and that really gets hold of the believers! I believed in the bible!!! Full stop, but when I read their bible it was different, not always in a big way but, slanted truth! For a long time I was duped by that! But the Lord is good and strong…he led me out! Hallelujah
I am beginning to question everything. I’m so grateful for this reality check. It is making me take a long hard look at what I have been taught all my life. The timing is perfect.
@Tom B haha absolutely!!! And even the long ones had me wishing it didnt end! They are just a wealth of knowledge I could never get tired of hearing them speak, but I'm sure they have other things to do and cant make them too long. I am very excited though for all the new videos they are putting out, one each day! I have enjoyed listening to jeff and stephanie as well! They are ALL truly a blessing 🥰
@@destinycoach5 This is the 2nd episode for the Rapture and the Endurance of the Saints. They have a 50 episode series on the Book of Revelation that is very good in explaining the end times. The series is well worth the investment of your time.
@@shiner_man ah. Thank you. I have seen that revelation series and think I even started it... but I guess I forgot about it. I'll get back I it. This is 2nd in the series.. really sounded like an opening vid. I look forward to this one. Thanks
Study of and understanding scripture is a life long endeavor. I believe there are few...maybe none that completely know everything the Bible has to teach. So to Love Jesus is to love studying the Bible. No matter what you know..there will always be more!
I have been in the charismatic non denominational church all through my life up until 3 years ago, and my early years where a lot like Joel’s So to feel something amazing or have an experience in worship was something I longed for. This pre-tribulation teaching was imbedded in my soul and if you didn’t believe it you were probably not saved. Three years ago my pastor was taking an offering and said all of you, your new year will be better than last year overflowing ! I thought how does he know that ? Because I gave money ? So I started learning the Bible I had to strip all of my filters and start believing what I was reading and stop reading what I believe ! I love you guys man ! It was tough for me at first but my own study was taking down this road and then I heard you guys teaching, and it’s been a great study. I love how you say be a Berean .. and it’s true cause most of the church in pews today will say amen to just about anything preached sadly enough.. Great video The king is coming and until He gets here learn, pray, love and be prepared ! We can die for our country but not the Gospel ? Let that sink in .. Maranatha !
Joel Richardson... thank you. When I came to the Lord God Jesus Christ the Holy Spirit revealed to me the enduring, we as His Bride, would have to walk through. Prayers for your family....
Excellent, "be a student of the Bible, not a student of your teacher. Too many Christians are students of their teachers, not the Bible." Excellent point Joel. And too many good brothers and sisters don't recognize this in themselves. The same goes for many pastors who merely mimic the teaching of their seminary professors or favorite pastors. A gentle but long overdue rebuke is in order. But, I am confident that the Lord has begun and will continue to awaken the church. This is a necessary series and many will have their eyes and hearts open to this and become prepared for the Lord's work in these coming years. I myself was a pastor who was raised with this popular teaching, but thanks be to the Lord for his gentle prodding in my studies. May the Lord spread this far and wide and may the Bride prepare herself to meet her Lord when He arrives in the clouds. Maranatha!
Thank you Joel for your teaching of God's Word and for sharing your personal stories. I love it! You, Dalton, FAI without a doubt have drawn me closer to our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ.
I grew up in the 80s and was taught the pre-tribulation rapture, a view I held without question until about 3 years ago. They used to teach the church would be raptured out before we would see even the things we’ve witnessed over the last 3 years. I’m so thankful God brought me to the place where I was willing to biblically challenge my beliefs and accept what the Bible teaches about the end times. Today, I hold the pre-wrath rapture position. But I know if I’m wrong and post-tribulation is correct that God can and will seal the church from His wrath He pours out on the earth during the trumpet and bowl judgements.
@@MrThatWatchman you only quoted part of Romans 10:17. That should read “So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.”. The word is the written word. And if the scriptures weren’t crucial, then why did Jesus and the Apostles constant quote the OT? There has to be some ultimate authority by which we judge all things and that is the scriptures and not our own vision or opinion. Every cult has started with someone saying “God told me…”. So, mr so-called watchman, by what standard to you judge all things? I could say “The Spirit told me….” and completely contradict what you said.
Hi Joel, I was raised on the pretrib rapture. I always thought it was crazy that there were people who believe differently. It seemed so true. Then I listened to one of your videos on this subject. I couldn't believe how I had been deceived! It really struck a place in my heart. I felt like I was on the road to Emmaeus! And I felt like saying doesn't my heart burn within me?? Thank you dear brother for being true to the scriptures!
Welcome. To the TRUE FAMILY - now prepare for the persecution and know that you are indeed loved and a warrior of the MOST HIGH GOD so basically welcome to training DELTA FORCE training my brother
Joel, your point about does the Bible teach imminence, or is does it teach urgency is excellent. I’m in a Bible study with a group of pretribbers. My daughter tells me don’t rock the boat. Yep, I’m rocking the boat with the link to this video. I hope they watch it. God bless you🙏🏼
Thank you for sharing part of your testimony, the Lord has established a work in you. Yippee, I have been disturbed by the false teaching of pre-trib rapture for years, so invasive and divisive. I have been waiting all these years for someone with the platform to be able to come against this false teaching. You will face opposition, hate, the works, when standing up for truth. May the angel of the Lord and His mighty Word guard and guides you and all those at FAI.
You’re right! Everyone has one, but we still love them. Everyone has heartache, too. Love yours and Dalton’s videos. Awesome teaching as usual, Joel. I’m so thankful for your ministry.
When I received Christ Jesus I just wanted to see him coming in the cloads and receive my glorified body I'll put my faith in the holy spirit and live for God . Love God & keep his commandments worship God in the holy spirit. God bless love you all. 1JOHN4:11-16 1JOHN5:1-4
I remember the 1st time I felt the tangible presence of THE HOLY SPIRIT OF THE LORD in the house - I was at peace and I knew I was secure but I was afraid at the same time, because I could feel THE ALMIGHTY POWER OF THE LORD, it filled the sanctuary with such a weight and heaviness and there was like a misty cloud . We were all blessed and touch in a great way , each of us in many different ways.
We are just about to start an eschatology meeting in our Church. I prayed the Lord guide me to where I need to be in order to be equipped for this meeting, and He took me here. My view is the same as yours and it's great to get confirmation from the Lord that my approach will be the correct one. I used to be a pre tribber. I love my Church friends, but they are scared. They see what's coming and some are starting to cry at the thought that the rapture might not be pre and they will have to be martyred. I've felt God asking me to start this meeting, so I can somehow help Him to build these family up in their faith so they are kept from the hour of temptation by the armor of God in full. I love our Lord so so much. Thanks for doing these videos, I'm always learning but I know a post trib is the case. I'm eager to see the rest.
That's powerful.When Joel was talking about what Pre-Tribbers might end up calling "The Great Disappointment" (my term, not his, but he mentioned all would be disappointed at least)--and all the accompanying confusion and even falling away--you know what I thought of? How many Americans now are getting angry, scared, disappointment and disorientation over the lack of The Plan materializing. General Flynn recently said "Plan? What plan? Someone tell me there is a plan, because I'd love it if there was one, I don't know anything about it!" People are asking "where's Q?" "What's going on?" "What about Nuremburg 2?" It's really painful to see. Many are still clinging to the idea that the military will back Trump and bring about an overturning of the current situation which is definitely not about America being great again, it's more about sovereignty being eroded in all Western nations. All of them. To pave the way for a New World Order. Which is what the Bible forecasted, is it not? Though I agree with the Mid-East Beast view of FAI. This is still part of the unfolding. At any rate, the feeling amongst the Q-Anon people is getting grim. I see by their comments on Rumble for example, they are bitterly disappointed and disillusioned, and many still cling to the illusion that "someone" is fixing to bring down the Plan. I can only imagine the magnitude of disillusionment and discouragement and FEAR amongst those who believer fervently in a pre-Trib rapture. Praying that now the believers prepare themselves. I've been praying about this for several years, since the Lord led me to FAI through leading me to Joel and his teachings. I was literally told his name, Joel. Richardson...in prayer! When I was asking where to find out about end time prophecy. I'd come across the pre-Trib idea only a couple of years before, in reading the Ouest commentaries. Ouest was a pre-Tribber, and I was intrigued at the idea, and looked at his texts. they were not convincing to me as I was in a post-Trib church as a teen and young adult. After that I was in the wilderness for a couple of decades...before the Lord finally got that lost sheep rounded up once again! Thank God!
I trust them totally…now, I didn’t trust anyone for a long time after leaving the JW’s. I have followed FAI for only 3 years now and I have checked everything with scripture. After 3 years I am beginning to accept what they say, but, still check it out! It will only confirm your view or conviction and should things go south (which I sincerely doubt) then you will know. I will be one of the first people to pull them up if it’s not scriptural. This ministry will bless you 💯 fold. Maranatha
Pre-trib here, until the great tribulation begins then I'll be mid-trib then post if necessary, but always in His presence since the first day of this journey... and whether or not I'm ready for the trial, or I'm called home today I WILL PRAISE HIM FOR WHO HE IS FOREVER Thank you LORD
Pre-Trib here as well. Not sure how people can be so dogmatic about it when Jesus Himself doesn’t even know. My stance is that if Jesus doesn’t come get us before Tribulation, then I’ll continue to stand in faith, just like I do today. As my Pastor says, it will ALL pan out in the end. Jesus reigns & I will be with Him for eternity. Not because of me, but because of what He did on the cross. And as He waits for the Father to give Him the go ahead, I will rejoice!
@@besearchingforwisdom6267 1Cor15:23 indicates the anointed 144000-firstfruits are gathered first then the main harvest occurs at the end of great tribulation period when our Lord and Saviour returns. The main harvest is in Rev7:9-14,,, the great multitude that no-one could count from every nation, tribe, people and language. As far as looking at pre-trib,,, it is not even on the cards,,, if you are not part of the 144000-firstfruits forget about mid-trib,,,, then pray you are worthy at post-trib.
2Ti 1:9 “THE LORD KNOWS THOSE WHO ARE HIS,” This is heartening to know that pretribbers who are his are his regardless of their misconception. They will adapt when they can no longer hold to that belief.
OUTSTANDING!! GREAT!! Hoping my wife and some friends can make the conference in July. Looking forward to coming episodes. God richly, greatly bless your work in His name.
I’m glad Joel and Dalton are addressing this issue. I went to see Joel in a small town in Manitoba in 2014. A man by the name Reggie Kelly happened to be there and everything I believed related to the rapture was suddenly being challenged. Coming from the pretrib camp, I decided to dig deep. Long story short, it became clear to me that there was just no way to reconcile that theory with scripture. And I for one am glad I was challenged on it. Never apologize for challenging a false teaching. I look forward to the upcoming sessions.
I am so blessed by your teaching! Studying Revelation and Bible prophecy with you guys this past year or 2 , has ignited a fire in my belly for these topics and has helped me to see Jesus rightly. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Your words do not fall on deaf ears. You both have such a gift for teaching that has had profound impact on my life ! I’m Praying for you and your families ! Maranatha! ❤
Please don’t stop relaying your own stories, they are an important part of your message. Bless you, brother, and blessings over your family in Jesus’ Name.
Dear Joel, I loved your story and your heartfelt concern for the church. I am not sure exactly about who the church is especially with so much confusion and corruption within many today. And I kept thinking: Jesus spoke truth no matter what. He never wavered and never bothered being diplomatic. Truth is truth. Speak it boldly and whoever has ears to hear will hear. God bless.
You helped convert me and support me in the truth on Rapture. I've always felt uncomfortable with it every time I read scriptures for myself. Thank you for your testimony on Mike. God bless his family. You KNOW the Holy Spirit lead you away from the grasps of death. He knew FAI would be a powerful weapon. He chose you to do it. God bless you!
Thank you for being so bold and obeying the lords calling on your life. I pray the word and the Holy Spirit teach me what the word says during this time we are living. 🙏🏽
Always enjoy these teachings its nice to have others studying the scriptures with you and see the same views on them as you ,as you study It reinforces how much the Lord truly wants us all to know and understand so we are prepared and can help others as well. Blessings on the team always.
This was phenomenal! And your testimony had me in tears- what your friend said about you. So much conviction and a beautiful reminder. I'm thankful for this channel and many others that are preparing the church according to scripture. I was never dogmatic about pre-trib as I was raised Catholic. The Lord got me out when I was in High School. So I was listening to both sides but something in me never felt comfortable with the idea of just vanishing. I too am worried those holding tightly to this man made doctrine will not be prepared. I see it playing a role in the great apostasy as well. Isn't this mainly taught in the states (West)? Thank you brothers for speaking truth in love! God bless and maranatha!!
Thank you so much for your testimony! Im looking forward to you and Dalton delving into this subject. May many lies of false doctrine be exposed and Truth be given, and those who need to hear 'stumble' upon this channel by(Yehovah Sneaky). BARUCH HABAH BSHEM YHVH!
What an honor to be the generation called to imitate our Lord in His darkest hour! Powerful and heartfelt teaching. Praying for all of FAI's teachers as you follow the Lord's direction and go after the wandering sheep.
Love you man. That story had me welling up. God bless you. Glad to hear your teaching and it's really nice to hear someone say - 'check my teaching out! Go by the scriptures!' It's very refreshing.
The added testimony was very moving and do not apologize for we all have one. I love how you guys are so genuine in your teaching. When asked what proof do you have there is a God or what is the one thing that proves God to me such as creation or historic prophecy ect. I often say it's the personal testimony of millions of believers. It's my personal struggle and the difference The Lord made in my life. Testimony is so strong Joel. I also have been questioned of my faith for not being pretrib. Was even told I needed I may not be saved and needed to search my heart and pray for salvation. I honestly was never taught pre trib honestly don't remember ever hearing about it in church as I attended as a child with my grandparents and that was a very very very long time ago. I didn't know the Lord in my adult life untill close to 3 years ago , I came back to my childhood faith after a very dark life of struggle. The church was NOTHING like remembered snd I questioned if maybe I was forgetting something. Thank The Lord my family was around to guide me and I found the FAI ministry early in those days. Thus was a great season Bless you guys
Glad I found this. I have had a strong belief that pre-trib wasn't right. I mean even Jesus's followers went through tribulation and was put to death. Post-trib felt right to me and my heart is at peace with the understanding I have to be ready to bring people to the Lord during the end times. It's the duty of the Church to help people through. Everyone. Thank you for these series.
I am glad that you are teaching this truth. My eyes were opened in 1985 and did what everyone should do. I read the scriptures. I got saved in February of 1985. And after reading Matthew 24, I told everyone one that the rapture won't happen as you think. They told me I was too young in Christ and I am blind from the truth. Thank you for this teaching. Shalom
Sir, this is just the beginning. I had to get reprogrammed by Mr. Chuck Missler. He too taught endurance. Thank you, I already watched the revelation series. This is gonna be good. May God bless and keep you all safe. P. S. Your testimony was incredible.
Wow! Brother Joel, I don't agree with you on some teachings you present, but my own Berean deep study of this subject led by the holy spirit is in complete agreement. I've been speaking it for a couple years now to always deaf but itching ears Bravo brother. May God bless this effort of FAI!
Excellent, heart felt explanation of why you have so much passion for sharing the gospel, especially what is coming. True passion for others is behind everything that FAI does. See you in Dallas! Can't wait!
Merci Joël pour votre témoignage!!! Je suis du Canada et je n'ai jamais cru en cet pré-tribulations enlèvement... J'ai vécu un accident d'auto semblable à votre ami Mike, à l'âge de 15 ans, en 1994, où j'ai été aussi éjectée de la voiture. Après avoir écouté votre témoignage, je suis très touchée. Et le message que j'en tire c'est que j'ai la chance d'être encore vivante et que je peux partager, à mes frères et soeurs en Jésus-Christ que j'aime beaucoup, mais qui ont été mal enseignés sur l'enlèvement avant la tribulation, ce qui doit réellement arriver. Et t tout ça dans l'amour que Dieu veut qu'on ait entre nous!!!! Que Dieu vous bénisse et vous garde!!!
I found your channel a couple of days ago. I was a firm believer in pre-trib, but after researching further I now believe in post-trib. Thank you!
Praise the Lord!
than how do you explain Lots & Noah removal from their Tribulation ? - Not from the Planet - but their severe punishment ????? If GOD is in. your heart it won't matter - but just for conversation
@@charlessamsonow7438 Lot & Noah are both utter destruction events both situations are for the annihilation of the wicked only not the trials of the saints.
He saved Noah and Lot by not taking them out of the world, but preserving them from the wrath yet still in the world, God knows how to preserve His people, but yet still some will suffer persecution and even martyrdom for their faith….
Post rapture thinking can also get you in trouble as pre or mid trib rapture does. You simply just need to get rid of that rapture doctrine and stick to Scripture. It's called the second coming. (The SECOND COMING in the Greek does not translate back to a rapture). Satan, defacto, here as antichrist will be his tribualtion, but Yeshua also has a tribulation. There are 2 advents. That is the reason why it's not good to call it pre mid or post. We are not ALL fully or completely judged at the 7th trump when Yeshua returns to dwell with us. Many rapture followers believe that they are judged and living eternally with God when they are raptured, not so. Many that know the truth will then question what trubulation are you considering post. Many don't understand the Lord's day, also called the millenium. At the 7th trump we are all changed back to spirit bodies (for judgement), also called the first death, the first resurrection. After the millenium, that is when the great throne judgement upon ALL will happen. That is the second death, the second resurrection. Jesus will reign with us for 1000 years before the eternity can take place. This is the tribualtion of Yeshua. It is why many are being decieved with this rapture doctrine. It simply has no article in Scripture.
I understand when you say post rapture, it simply means we will ALL go through the tribulation of antichrist/hour of temptation, and then Yeshua apears at the 7th trump and Gods wrath happens very quick at the same time. Call it a rapture if it makes you happy but as the Bible teaches, it does not happen till the 7th trump sounds.
Second coming, at the last trump, the 7th trump, God's trump.
I could listen to you all day , please don't shorten it.
Thanks, FAI.

I pray often for healing

I was hardcore pre-trib before I even truly became a believer (grew up in the church but gave my life to Jesus at 21). I read the Left Behind series, saw the movies and used to believe it would happen at any moment (well over 15 years ago).
As I studied the scriptures after being drawn to Jesus and surrendering to Him, I began to see countless parallels and examples of God being WITH His church in the midst of tribulation, from Genesis to Revelation. Then, when I came across FAI and GCM, I began to be pulled even more to study further and it all made sense.... terrifying at first, but, knowing that God is in control of the end, makes it worth enduring through to the point of the return of Jesus.
The thing now that I am having to get past is not following the 'prepper' crowd, that believes we need to 'survive', when we are called to lay down our lives for Jesus... yes, I believe that we will need to endure, but, only for as long as the Lord will have us here.
Many Christians (sadly, much of my brothers and sisters) I fear, will fall away when the pre-trib does not come to pass, while those of us who remain and endure, will have to pull the weight of being strong and answering their questions and encouraging them to endure to the end. I hope that I am ready for that day, and ready to lay down my life for Jesus, as many will not, because they will compromise and take the mark.
Amen. The great falling away in 2 Thessalonians 2. That is why I push post trib to my church when I can.
Thank you for teaching the truth !
Hi @FAI STUDIOS, I was a pre-triber for over 30 years until I started studying scripture intently on this subject (along with praying and fasting). Just want to say how encouraging this is to hear such clear teaching on this that I can share with others. I’ve been talking to as many friends/family/YouTubbers as I can about this but usually face anger or accusations (that I’m living a sinful life and not hearing from the Spirit of God).
Much of what you all have been sharing is exactly what I have been discovering in scripture, sharing, and experiencing (from others). It’s encouraging to see how God is moving in his body to root out this false teaching in order to help us prepare for what’s to come. It also verifies in my heart that the time of (great) tribulation is coming fast for the world (especially in the Western World).
Thanks for doing this series, and I can’t wait for the weeks to come to listen to what you will have to say . One action point we all need to take away from this understanding is to pray for one another to have the strength from God, and the resolve, to endure no matter what. We need the Spirit’s leading and power in this. Praying for his wisdom in the day to day practical steps he wants us to take… from spending quality, intimate, time daily with God, to gathering together in home churches, to creating an “underground” network for supplies and food. We need the Spirit’s wisdom and leading.
Much better we trust in God’s provision and strength than our own.
Amen.
The saints are in heaven celebrating salvation and redemption before tribulation begins on earth in chapters 4-5 and later in chapter 12
I was a Pretribulation Rapture believer as well however, I'm not dogmatic about any of the rapture interpretations. I "kind" of lean towards the Pre-Rath interpretation. In my opinion the rapture will happen when it happens. If a Pre-Tribulation Rapture happens that will be a great thing but I'm not going to hold my breath. Hope for the best but prepare for the worst, right?

So grateful to have found FAI Studios. I'm a post tribulation and it's saddened me for years to see my sister's and brother's in Christ so caught up in ore trib secret rapture😢, don't quite know how to handle it as well as you all do in teaching Scripture as you do. Love these u tubes! ❤
Be encouraged! For every person who attacks you for teaching the truth, there will be hundreds or thousands of people who are genuinely trying to make sense of everything they've been taught and who will be open to the plain truth of the Word. You may not hear anything from them, but you will be changing their future.
Thank you for everything you guys are doing!
Thank you for sharing your powerful testimony ! Praise the Lord!
We were pretrib until watching your teachings the last few months! Thank you for encouraging the Church to be Barreans!
The only word I can use to describe this session is "Powerful". Can't wait for the next one!
I can relate to your first experience with the Holy Spirit. Mine was much in the same manner. I call it the "Spirit of repentance". Something happened one night at church that made me change my mind about my life. I believed on the name of Jesus that night and I can truthfully say I was born again. Immediately I knew the life I was living was not right. My life changed immediately that night. That was in Jan 78.
Thank you for this teaching. I was raised in pre-trib teaching & have started to see things differently in the past few years

I used to be pre trib but now that I know the truth I don't know what I'll probably become a martyr because from my understanding of the hosea prophecy the return of christ is in 2030 meaning the tribulation starts in the middle of 2026 so then I will be 16 and a half now I am 13 and my parents are very lukewarm so I wont be able to prepare.Any advice?
@@linin3288 Continue to study the Word of God, pray without ceasing (commune with God as often as you can, think about Him, meditate on His Word), and ask God for protection and guidance, and the Holy Spirit will be with you always. If you can find a true Bible-believing church, that would help you to grow in faith. God bless!
God is waking us up ❤️
@@linin3288God Bless you! No one knows the day nor the hour Christ will return. Don’t worry about dates, just keep seeking and loving the Lord. Passionately seek His face as you study His Word. People have been giving dates for many years and have led many astray.

Same here. Can't get enough of FAI.
Ummm ok so I feel like crying hearing Joel talk about his story, I am here for it that is AMAZING!!!! makes me wish each FAI member could do one episode on their testimony!!! Wow, that is so touching to hear thank you Joel for sharing that!
Yes and Amen! We must be ready and prepared. Not decieving ourselves with pre trib
Think once more and see my review. Dig deeper.
You’re never rambling and you’re an excellent story teller. I’m in agreement with you. I’m teaching my family about the endurance that will be needed in the times ahead. I feel, that the truth is what they will be armed with. God bless you Brother. And big hugs from the Grand Canyon State. 💙🙏💙
It's so incredibly refreshing to finally find someone who is teaching the same things I'm reading when I study. It's so frustrating to read what makes so much sense to me, only to have someone I respect disagree, but not have anything to help me understand why they are seeing teachings I just cannot see, no matter how I try. It's nice to know I'm not alone, and that the vitriol I've run into at times wasn't needed.
Made me cry, the story of Mike. Last evening I was trying to gently push my friend to the Lord. She has recently found out she has Cervical cancer, and also told me her adult daughter moved home, and has a serious alcohol issue. Straight vodka. I sent her some teachings, told her to give it to God and tell him, Lord I cannot do this alone. I am starting to not hold back myself. Another friend lost her daughter this week as well. More to it but this is it in a nutshell. God bless and Maranatha! (By the way those sweatshirts you sell on your site are so soft and awesome)
I am sensing an urgency of the hour, this teaching is essential there is so much deception out there! Thank you for speaking the truth! So many need to hear this! Love this new series will watch every episode!
This is a remarkable teaching full of heart, Truth, and encouragement. Amen!
I'm so excited about this series! This information is SO necessary in this hour! May God continue to stegnthen and bless this ministry! 🙏 ❤
Having been dreadfully misled by the JW’s for a number of years, I am possibly the most berean person going AND that is why I still follow your sessions diligently. I have been down rabbit hole after rabbit hole and the FAI are the only teachings I have found that are sound and based 💯 on scripture. I also love that you do not sensationalise and go off on your own ideas or whims as nearly all others do! I still peruse occasionally but I see so much goofy and weird stuff, totally unscriptural and I sigh! I have unsubscribed from nearly all other teachers!
I love your studies and missed them tremendously. I have felt spiritually starved for some months now…so thank you so much for filling me to the brim with daily studies. May the Lord continue to bless you all and open the hearts of those that listen and check the scriptures. I might also add that the Lord led me to your ministry when I broke down and sobbed to the Lord to reveal Himself. I was knocking and seeking and after desperately praying, sobbing and begging, the very next day I found the FAI! Truly a blessing. Thank the Lord! Hallelujah and thank you FAI, Maranatha
I love what you said, that is exactly how I am, I feel you wrote my own words! Haha God is at work doing some huge heart things like always! I love FAI and like you said I have unsubscribed from most all other teachings, I feel they are so sound in scripture and not going just off feelings. They let scripture interpret scripture and more than any other person I've ever listened to. I will pray for you in your journey, May God bless you and give you understanding as you go! Maranatha! 💖💖💖
@@sammygeiger3562
Thank you and I shall pray for you also. Difficult times and we need to love and encourage each other. I want to be ready and prepared and as Joel said…if it does happen sooner, which I doubt very much…bonus! God bless and Maranatha
I personally haven't found any misleading teachings in FAI. But I've been shocked to see their names on lists of FALSE teachers from people I've learned to trust and know many of the other names on list are false.
But I've yet to see anyone dissect any teaching to say why it's on their list. They do this with the others.
So I was wondering if you would teach a little bit about the doctrines of JW.
@@destinycoach5 yes absolutely more than happy to tell you! I left in late 1990’s just before the new millennia and needless to say they have changed things since. Well they sort of had to really…but ask away…more than happy to expose the falsehood
@@destinycoach5
Quite staggering they are on such a list, I didn’t even know existed. Fact is…wide is the road leading to destruction and many are following that route (breaks my heart)
Narrow is the path leading to everlasting life and few find it! ( ab lib).
I despair daily, having been down the route of evil! I now have clear and scriptural based faith in the Lord!
A lot of JW’s that leave are lost and need our help! However, some on you tube are trying to make a career or money or fame or whatever, I don’t know from their experience! I just want them all to know Jesus as God and open their hearts to the truth of Gods REAL word! Their bible has been changed and that really gets hold of the believers! I believed in the bible!!! Full stop, but when I read their bible it was different, not always in a big way but, slanted truth! For a long time I was duped by that! But the Lord is good and strong…he led me out! Hallelujah
I am beginning to question everything. I’m so grateful for this reality check. It is making me take a long hard look at what I have been taught all my life. The timing is perfect.
Minute 46, felt filled with the Holy Spirit, praise God
Not a fan of keeping it shorter, please make these videos as long as you can! Lol so so good thank you Joel!
@Tom B haha absolutely!!! And even the long ones had me wishing it didnt end! They are just a wealth of knowledge I could never get tired of hearing them speak, but I'm sure they have other things to do and cant make them too long. I am very excited though for all the new videos they are putting out, one each day! I have enjoyed listening to jeff and stephanie as well! They are ALL truly a blessing 🥰
I AGREE!!
I must be an anomaly….I am NOT a pre tribber nor am I a Once saved Always saved…
Same here!
There are more of us than you think.
Agreed. We are out here.
Here here!
No, you're not an anómoly. I believe the same as you do. But I am a majority of one.
That testimony had me in tears! Thank you for sharing it and your unapologetic commitment to sharing the truth!
I'm really enjoying these lessons!!
Isn't this the 1st one in this series?
@@destinycoach5 This is the 2nd episode for the Rapture and the Endurance of the Saints. They have a 50 episode series on the Book of Revelation that is very good in explaining the end times. The series is well worth the investment of your time.

Thanks
@@johnfourteensix5398 thank you John. Appreciate the link
Study of and understanding scripture is a life long endeavor. I believe there are few...maybe none that completely know everything the Bible has to teach. So to Love Jesus is to love studying the Bible. No matter what you know..there will always be more!
I have been in the charismatic non denominational church all through my life up until 3 years ago, and my early years where a lot like Joel’s
So to feel something amazing or have an experience in worship was something
I longed for. This pre-tribulation teaching was imbedded in my soul and if you didn’t believe it you were probably not saved. Three years ago my pastor was taking an offering and said all of you, your new year will be better than last year overflowing ! I thought how does he know that ? Because I gave money ?
So I started learning the Bible I had to strip all of my filters and start
believing what I was reading and stop reading what I believe ! I love you guys man ! It was tough for me at first but my own study was taking down this road and then I heard you guys teaching, and it’s been a great study. I love how you say be a Berean .. and it’s true cause most of the church in pews today will say amen to just about anything preached sadly enough.. Great video The king is coming and until He gets here learn, pray, love and be prepared ! We can die for our country but not the Gospel ? Let that sink in .. Maranatha !
Joel Richardson... thank you. When I came to the Lord God Jesus Christ the Holy Spirit revealed to me the enduring, we as His Bride, would have to walk through. Prayers for your family....
Excellent, "be a student of the Bible, not a student of your teacher. Too many Christians are students of their teachers, not the Bible." Excellent point Joel. And too many good brothers and sisters don't recognize this in themselves. The same goes for many pastors who merely mimic the teaching of their seminary professors or favorite pastors. A gentle but long overdue rebuke is in order.
But, I am confident that the Lord has begun and will continue to awaken the church. This is a necessary series and many will have their eyes and hearts open to this and become prepared for the Lord's work in these coming years. I myself was a pastor who was raised with this popular teaching, but thanks be to the Lord for his gentle prodding in my studies. May the Lord spread this far and wide and may the Bride prepare herself to meet her Lord when He arrives in the clouds. Maranatha!
Spot on brother.
Thank you Joel for your teaching of God's Word and for sharing your personal stories. I love it! You, Dalton, FAI without a doubt have drawn me closer to our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ.
AMEN Thank you FAI!!
I grew up in the 80s and was taught the pre-tribulation rapture, a view I held without question until about 3 years ago. They used to teach the church would be raptured out before we would see even the things we’ve witnessed over the last 3 years. I’m so thankful God brought me to the place where I was willing to biblically challenge my beliefs and accept what the Bible teaches about the end times. Today, I hold the pre-wrath rapture position. But I know if I’m wrong and post-tribulation is correct that God can and will seal the church from His wrath He pours out on the earth during the trumpet and bowl judgements.
@@MrThatWatchman you only quoted part of Romans 10:17. That should read “So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.”. The word is the written word. And if the scriptures weren’t crucial, then why did Jesus and the Apostles constant quote the OT? There has to be some ultimate authority by which we judge all things and that is the scriptures and not our own vision or opinion. Every cult has started with someone saying “God told me…”. So, mr so-called watchman, by what standard to you judge all things? I could say “The Spirit told me….” and completely contradict what you said.
Hi Joel, I was raised on the pretrib rapture. I always thought it was crazy that there were people who believe differently. It seemed so true. Then I listened to one of your videos on this subject. I couldn't believe how I had been deceived! It really struck a place in my heart. I felt like I was on the road to Emmaeus! And I felt like saying doesn't my heart burn within me?? Thank you dear brother for being true to the scriptures!
Welcome. To the TRUE FAMILY - now prepare for the persecution and know that you are indeed loved and a warrior of the MOST HIGH GOD so basically welcome to training DELTA FORCE training my brother
Joel, your point about does the Bible teach imminence, or is does it teach urgency is excellent. I’m in a Bible study with a group of pretribbers. My daughter tells me don’t rock the boat. Yep, I’m rocking the boat with the link to this video. I hope they watch it. God bless you🙏🏼
I can't even tell you how excited I am for this series. This is a tremendous blessing. Thank you Lord and thank you FAI
Love Love Love how you present the information - so raw - so pure - so transparent... THANK YOU!
Thank you for sharing part of your testimony, the Lord has established a work in you. Yippee, I have been disturbed by the false teaching of pre-trib rapture for years, so invasive and divisive. I have been waiting all these years for someone with the platform to be able to come against this false teaching. You will face opposition, hate, the works, when standing up for truth. May the angel of the Lord and His mighty Word guard and guides you and all those at FAI.
Thank you so much Joel for this clarity. What a powerful testimony you have too.
Thank you brothers for doing this!
The last 10 minutes was explained wonderfully and so powerful, great teaching!
Praise the living God I am looking forward to feasting at the Lord's table on each video. Thank you, Jesus 🙏🕊💞

You’re right! Everyone has one, but we still love them. Everyone has heartache, too. Love yours and Dalton’s videos. Awesome teaching as usual, Joel. I’m so thankful for your ministry.
I am sharing because I too have love for you and all God created and I want the truth to be known. All glory goes to the heavenly father.

LOVE your testimony!! And I LOVE that someone is finally taking this topic head on!! HalleluYUH!!!!!
I remember the 1st time I felt the tangible presence of THE HOLY SPIRIT OF THE LORD in the house - I was at peace and I knew I was secure but I was afraid at the same time, because I could feel THE ALMIGHTY POWER OF THE LORD, it filled the sanctuary with such a weight and heaviness and there was like a misty cloud . We were all blessed and touch in a great way , each of us in many different ways.
AMEN HALLELUJAH!!!
We are just about to start an eschatology meeting in our Church. I prayed the Lord guide me to where I need to be in order to be equipped for this meeting, and He took me here. My view is the same as yours and it's great to get confirmation from the Lord that my approach will be the correct one. I used to be a pre tribber. I love my Church friends, but they are scared. They see what's coming and some are starting to cry at the thought that the rapture might not be pre and they will have to be martyred. I've felt God asking me to start this meeting, so I can somehow help Him to build these family up in their faith so they are kept from the hour of temptation by the armor of God in full. I love our Lord so so much. Thanks for doing these videos, I'm always learning but I know a post trib is the case. I'm eager to see the rest.
That's powerful.When Joel was talking about what Pre-Tribbers might end up calling "The Great Disappointment" (my term, not his, but he mentioned all would be disappointed at least)--and all the accompanying confusion and even falling away--you know what I thought of? How many Americans now are getting angry, scared, disappointment and disorientation over the lack of The Plan materializing. General Flynn recently said "Plan? What plan? Someone tell me there is a plan, because I'd love it if there was one, I don't know anything about it!" People are asking "where's Q?" "What's going on?" "What about Nuremburg 2?"
It's really painful to see. Many are still clinging to the idea that the military will back Trump and bring about an overturning of the current situation which is definitely not about America being great again, it's more about sovereignty being eroded in all Western nations. All of them. To pave the way for a New World Order.
Which is what the Bible forecasted, is it not? Though I agree with the Mid-East Beast view of FAI. This is still part of the unfolding. At any rate, the feeling amongst the Q-Anon people is getting grim. I see by their comments on Rumble for example, they are bitterly disappointed and disillusioned, and many still cling to the illusion that "someone" is fixing to bring down the Plan.
I can only imagine the magnitude of disillusionment and discouragement and FEAR amongst those who believer fervently in a pre-Trib rapture. Praying that now the believers prepare themselves. I've been praying about this for several years, since the Lord led me to FAI through leading me to Joel and his teachings. I was literally told his name, Joel. Richardson...in prayer! When I was asking where to find out about end time prophecy.
I'd come across the pre-Trib idea only a couple of years before, in reading the Ouest commentaries. Ouest was a pre-Tribber, and I was intrigued at the idea, and looked at his texts. they were not convincing to me as I was in a post-Trib church as a teen and young adult. After that I was in the wilderness for a couple of decades...before the Lord finally got that lost sheep rounded up once again! Thank God!
I am so excited about this presentation. I trust ya'll, I know you speak the truth!!
Yes me too
I trust them totally…now, I didn’t trust anyone for a long time after leaving the JW’s. I have followed FAI for only 3 years now and I have checked everything with scripture. After 3 years I am beginning to accept what they say, but, still check it out! It will only confirm your view or conviction and should things go south (which I sincerely doubt) then you will know. I will be one of the first people to pull them up if it’s not scriptural.
This ministry will bless you 💯 fold.
Maranatha
I appreciate this channel, thanks for all the passion and effort
Pre-trib here, until the great tribulation begins then I'll be mid-trib then post if necessary, but always in His presence since the first day of this journey... and whether or not I'm ready for the trial, or I'm called home today
I WILL PRAISE HIM FOR WHO HE IS FOREVER

Pre-Trib here as well. Not sure how people can be so dogmatic about it when Jesus Himself doesn’t even know. My stance is that if Jesus doesn’t come get us before Tribulation, then I’ll continue to stand in faith, just like I do today. As my Pastor says, it will ALL pan out in the end. Jesus reigns & I will be with Him for eternity. Not because of me, but because of what He did on the cross. And as He waits for the Father to give Him the go ahead, I will rejoice!

1Cor15:23 indicates the anointed 144000-firstfruits are gathered first then the main harvest occurs at the end of great tribulation period when our Lord and Saviour returns.
The main harvest is in Rev7:9-14,,, the great multitude that no-one could count from every nation, tribe, people and language.
As far as looking at pre-trib,,, it is not even on the cards,,, if you are not part of the 144000-firstfruits forget about mid-trib,,,, then pray you are worthy at post-trib.
Thank you Joel for these teachings! They are needed.
Yes we have to be prepared to lay down our lives...Amen...
2Ti 1:9 “THE LORD KNOWS THOSE WHO ARE HIS,” This is heartening to know that pretribbers who are his are his regardless of their misconception. They will adapt when they can no longer hold to that belief.

OUTSTANDING!! GREAT!! Hoping my wife and some friends can make the conference in July. Looking forward to coming episodes. God richly, greatly bless your work in His name.
Thank you for the sacrifices you all make to produce these videos.
I’m glad Joel and Dalton are addressing this issue. I went to see Joel in a small town in Manitoba in 2014. A man by the name Reggie Kelly happened to be there and everything I believed related to the rapture was suddenly being challenged. Coming from the pretrib camp, I decided to dig deep. Long story short, it became clear to me that there was just no way to reconcile that theory with scripture. And I for one am glad I was challenged on it. Never apologize for challenging a false teaching. I look forward to the upcoming sessions.
This is now my second time listening to the series
The Truth In Love! Amen!!!
I am so blessed by your teaching! Studying Revelation and Bible prophecy with you guys this past year or 2 , has ignited a fire in my belly for these topics and has helped me to see Jesus rightly. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Your words do not fall on deaf ears. You both have such a gift for teaching that has had profound impact on my life ! I’m Praying for you and your families !

God bless you, brothers. Thank you ~
This truth is so needed
Thank you
Dear Joel, I loved your story and your heartfelt concern for the church. I am not sure exactly about who the church is especially with so much confusion and corruption within many today. And I kept thinking: Jesus spoke truth no matter what. He never wavered and never bothered being diplomatic. Truth is truth. Speak it boldly and whoever has ears to hear will hear. God bless.
You helped convert me and support me in the truth on Rapture. I've always felt uncomfortable with it every time I read scriptures for myself.
Thank you for your testimony on Mike. God bless his family. You KNOW the Holy Spirit lead you away from the grasps of death. He knew FAI would be a powerful weapon. He chose you to do it. God bless you!
Thank you for your word today.
You guys do a great job teaching this. Thank you for sharing your testimony and the story of your friend.
Thank you for being so bold and obeying the lords calling on your life. I pray the word and the Holy Spirit teach me what the word says during this time we are living. 🙏🏽
Thank you, Joel, may the Lord strengthen you and the entire FAI team.
Thank you for sharing your testimony 🙏🤗
Always enjoy these teachings its nice to have others studying the scriptures with you and see the same views on them as you ,as you study It reinforces how much the Lord truly wants us all to know and understand so we are prepared and can help others as well. Blessings on the team always.
This was phenomenal! And your testimony had me in tears- what your friend said about you. So much conviction and a beautiful reminder. I'm thankful for this channel and many others that are preparing the church according to scripture. I was never dogmatic about pre-trib as I was raised Catholic. The Lord got me out when I was in High School. So I was listening to both sides but something in me never felt comfortable with the idea of just vanishing.
I too am worried those holding tightly to this man made doctrine will not be prepared. I see it playing a role in the great apostasy as well. Isn't this mainly taught in the states (West)?
Thank you brothers for speaking truth in love! God bless and maranatha!!
Thank you so much for your testimony! Im looking forward to you and Dalton delving into this subject. May many lies of false doctrine be exposed and Truth be given, and those who need to hear 'stumble' upon this channel by(Yehovah Sneaky). BARUCH HABAH BSHEM YHVH!
Great message, probably one of the best I’ve heard, I’m glad you are not holding back and speaking the truth!
What an honor to be the generation called to imitate our Lord in His darkest hour! Powerful and heartfelt teaching. Praying for all of FAI's teachers as you follow the Lord's direction and go after the wandering sheep.
Love you man. That story had me welling up. God bless you. Glad to hear your teaching and it's really nice to hear someone say - 'check my teaching out! Go by the scriptures!' It's very refreshing.
The added testimony was very moving and do not apologize for we all have one. I love how you guys are so genuine in your teaching. When asked what proof do you have there is a God or what is the one thing that proves God to me such as creation or historic prophecy ect. I often say it's the personal testimony of millions of believers. It's my personal struggle and the difference The Lord made in my life. Testimony is so strong Joel. I also have been questioned of my faith for not being pretrib. Was even told I needed I may not be saved and needed to search my heart and pray for salvation. I honestly was never taught pre trib honestly don't remember ever hearing about it in church as I attended as a child with my grandparents and that was a very very very long time ago. I didn't know the Lord in my adult life untill close to 3 years ago , I came back to my childhood faith after a very dark life of struggle. The church was NOTHING like remembered snd I questioned if maybe I was forgetting something. Thank The Lord my family was around to guide me and I found the FAI ministry early in those days. Thus was a great season Bless you guys
I so look forward to your videos. Thank you FAI for all that you're doing ❤🙏.
100% agreed. Well explained brother
Powerful!
I believe you are correct. We will see the tribulation in the very near future: maybe as soon as this spring.
Thank you for your endearing heartfelt testimony. Jesus loves US. Look what He said about US in Isaiah 43:1. 💙
Scriptures first. Enough said! I am all ears.
Glad I found this. I have had a strong belief that pre-trib wasn't right. I mean even Jesus's followers went through tribulation and was put to death. Post-trib felt right to me and my heart is at peace with the understanding I have to be ready to bring people to the Lord during the end times. It's the duty of the Church to help people through. Everyone. Thank you for these series.
I am glad that you are teaching this truth. My eyes were opened in 1985 and did what everyone should do. I read the scriptures. I got saved in February of 1985. And after reading Matthew 24, I told everyone one that the rapture won't happen as you think. They told me I was too young in Christ and I am blind from the truth. Thank you for this teaching. Shalom
Sir, this is just the beginning. I had to get reprogrammed by Mr. Chuck Missler. He too taught endurance. Thank you, I already watched the revelation series. This is gonna be good. May God bless and keep you all safe. P. S. Your testimony was incredible.
Joel, you and I share a very similar testimony without the lost of a friend. Lord bless your transparency..
Wow! Brother Joel, I don't agree with you on some teachings you present, but my own Berean deep study of this subject led by the holy spirit is in complete agreement. I've been speaking it for a couple years now to always deaf but itching ears Bravo brother. May God bless this effort of FAI!
Excellent, heart felt explanation of why you have so much passion for sharing the gospel, especially what is coming. True passion for others is behind everything that FAI does. See you in Dallas! Can't wait!
Merci Joël pour votre témoignage!!! Je suis du Canada et je n'ai jamais cru en cet pré-tribulations enlèvement... J'ai vécu un accident d'auto semblable à votre ami Mike, à l'âge de 15 ans, en 1994, où j'ai été aussi éjectée de la voiture. Après avoir écouté votre témoignage, je suis très touchée. Et le message que j'en tire c'est que j'ai la chance d'être encore vivante et que je peux partager, à mes frères et soeurs en Jésus-Christ que j'aime beaucoup, mais qui ont été mal enseignés sur l'enlèvement avant la tribulation, ce qui doit réellement arriver. Et t tout ça dans l'amour que Dieu veut qu'on ait entre nous!!!! Que Dieu vous bénisse et vous garde!!!
Je suis d'accord avec vous. Dieu vous bénisse mon frère et ma sœur.
Thank you for all you shared. I'm eager to continue with this series. Praise God for Berean teachers. Let us all be Berean students of the Word.✝️📖🙏🤍
